Hello all, I am currently doing field mapping with MSF in Bangassou, Central African Republic for the Missing Maps. I have a few issues I could do with some help with...
Firstly, landmarks... Some important landmarks in Bangassou are the catholic missions (of which there are at least two), prayer houses (of which there are many) and chief's houses (one for every quartier / village etc). Prayer houses are not churches and cannot be tagged as such as they fulfill very different roles, socially and culturally. However, they also are heavily used by local people to navigate the town / villages. Does anyone have any idea (or previous experience) of how these might be best tagged? Also, the chief's houses are definitely landmarks, but also are important places socially (kind of like a local administration office). However, they are also private residences. Many have a sign outside with the name of the chief and the quartier etc, but many do not. How can this be handled? Is it a consent issue with the chiefs? Secondly, admin divisions... We are very close to having shapes for the the quartiers in Bangassou town. I know that the tag admin_level should be used, but how do I discern the level? The admin flow goes: Country Prefecture Sub-prefecture Town/village Arrondisement (only in the town itself - not in villages) Quartier I apologise as I can't do any kind of extensive research on these questions myself as the internet connection is poor. If anyone can help in the next day or two, it would be much appreciated.
